The DevTools MCP project just recently landed a standalone CLI: https://github.com/ChromeDevTools/chrome-devtools-mcp/blob/m...
Great news to all of us keenly aware of MCP's wild token costs. ;)
The CLI hasn't been announced yet (sorry guys!), but it is shipping in the latest v0.20.0 release. (Disclaimer: I used to work on the DevTools team. And I still do, too)
Love the Mitch Hedberg reference! Thank you! Always good to get a little Mitch!
‘I don’t have a girlfriend. But I do know a woman who’d be mad at me for saying that.’
‘I’m against picketing, but I don’t know how to show it.’
‘I haven’t slept for ten days, because that would be too long.’
‘I like to play blackjack. I’m not addicted to gambling. I’m addicted to sitting in a semi-circle.’

It doesn't seem to work, tried the -u flag with the default address and it just couldn't connect to the existing chrome instance.
The big upside of the MCP is that it connects to already open browser windows. I tried the skill but it always tries to open new windows. Is there a way to get the `--autoConnect` behaviour with the CLI?
Woah got this for the first time.

MCPs cost nothing in CC now with Tool Search.

This is incorrect. Plenty of people have run the numbers. Tool search does not fix all problems with MCP.
What are the numbers? Are there problems other than context usage you refer to?
Can you elaborate more?
Codex also has this…
